What are you talking about, Sio? Ellias is referring to the Message Centre forum - the first one that loads when you hit the "Forum" link at the top of the page. Near the bottom of that forum are a number of more general forums, including places to discuss SW, games, and general topics not falling into the other categories. Other than getting on IRC, this is the closest you will find.

We have a webclient that will allow you to connect; you don't need to download anything additional. The Guide gives links and instructions for the webclient, as well as for a standalone client like mIRC.
